Fun Fold – Flowerbugs Inkspot

Christmas themed fun-fold swaps

October 12, 2020

Last Friday I started sharing last month's fun fold cards made by my talented Flowerbug's Team members. Here are a few more

Jacki created this one using the Brightly Gleaming Specialty Designer paper and the Beautiful Autumn stamp set. It's a latch card!

Once you add the layers to the card front you'll use the Classic Label punch to create the window for the latch to catch into.

Measurements:

Night of Navy card base 4 1/4" X 9" scored at 5 1/2"
DSP 3 3/4" square on the front; 1 1/4" X 4" on the inside right edge
Pretty Peacock 4" square ont he front and a thin strip on the right inside edge
Latch – Navy 2" X 3 1/2" scored at 1/2"
Vanilla latch 1 3/4" X 2 3/4", inside is 4" X 5 1/4"

Here's another card made by Paula featuring the Little Treat Box dies and the Wrapped in Christmas stamp set.

She cut the treat box dies into separate pieces (Garden Green & Vanilla) for her card front. It also opens up to reveal a gift card holder inside. Lots of texture with the Winter Snow embossing folder too!

Measurements:

Garden Green card base 5 1/2" X 4 1/4"
Very Vanilla 5 3/8" X 4 1/8"
Real Red 4 1/2" X 10 3/4" scored at 3/4", 4" and 7 1/4"
Poinsettia Place DSP 4 1/4" X 3"

Stop back again for more Fun Fold cards! I have lots more to share!

On this week's Live video I shared 3 pretty projects featuring the new Splendid Thoughts bundle from the upcoming Holiday catalog. Here's the first one:

The colors include Petal Pink, Soft Sea Foam, White and Calypso Coral with a few Copper elements too.

I stamped the background on the Petal Pink card base using one of the leaf images in Petal Pink ink. The textured White adds a soft background to the many leaf die-cuts.

Can you spot the main difference between these two cards?

I used one of the dies in the Splendid Stems dies for the greeting piece on the right card. Which do you prefer?

And here's my favorite card I shared in the video. I cased the idea from my friend Lorri Heiling. It's so simple but super special with the foil stitched squares and die-cut leaf. There's something extra special about this leaf die-cut. Can you tell what it is?

It's hard to see in the photo but the entire leaf is on dimensionals. What?! Yes! I adhered a piece of White card stock to our Foam Adhesive Sheets seen here and then die-cut it all at once. So not the entire leaf is popped up. So cool and easily noticed in person.

The card above is made with a copper colored foil piece and the one below is in Fresh Freesia. I also added an extra textured layer to the card base.

The greetings are from the Splendid Thoughts stamp set on a die-cut from the Stylish Shapes dies. A thin strip of Fresh Freesia CS under the greeting pulls it all together.

Splendid Day cards with an easy background technique; video too.

June 30, 2022

Check out this pretty card using the Splendid Thoughts bundle. I shared how to make it in a recent Live video seen here.

I think the Brick background is so pretty with the die-cuts. I used the 'Direct to Paper' technique. I used the Brick Wall embossing folder on the Calypso Coral CS and then used an open White Craft ink pad to lightly brush ink onto the textured CS. I purposely keep my White Craft ink less inked than desired because I love doing this!  If yours is well inked you may want to use a sponge instead.

The colors include White, Calypso Coral, Soft Sea Foam and Petal Pink. The Splendid Day Specialty designer paper is gorgeous and full of Foil & Copper accents on one side and subtle prints on the other. Here's what the entire suite looks like. It will be available tomorrow, July 1st.

You can get a share of this beautiful paper in my new Holiday Catalog paper share. Reserve yours here now!

I stamped a few of the die-cuts and the greeting in Smoky Slate ink. I fussy cut the greeting and added it to the curved 'half circle' die-cut over the ribbon.  I'll share more Splendid Thoughts projects tomorrow.

Thursday is the last day; crazy Kits Collection BOGO deals!

June 29, 2022

Have you tried any of our current Kit Collection kits yet? Check them out here ASAP. Tomorrow is the last day of the BOGO promotion.

I demo'd them on last week's Live so you could see how wonderful they are. Click here to watch.

How does the BOGO work?

It's quite unusual in that the second kit at 50% off can be the more expensive one.

Such as; buy one for $12 and get a second kit at $20-25 at half off! Crazy but true!

The first kit I'm sharing is the Light the Candles kit seen here. It includes everything you need to complete these 8 cards.

I love how bright & colorful this kit is and the dimensional strips are easy to use. The cute glittery prints are quite eye catching.

These kits are 'all inclusive' which means everything is supplied for you. Many include the ink and stamps and others have pre-printed sentiments with no stamping needed. There's something for every taste or need. Click here to see them all.

The Robot Buddies kit is perfect for kids. It has a neat robot stamp set in it and includes TWO ink spots! too.

Click here to see all of the 17 kits available! Remember these change frequently. If they run out of stock they usually come back. They say they'll be available (while supplies last) for a year after they're introduced.

Due to popular demand I have another Annual Catalog paper share going. There are 2 spots left.

Contact me here if you'd like one. It's $26 for eighty two 6 X 6" sheets!
